other folks would like to know more about where did hagel's money came from. i don't find it unseemly to say to a potential secretary of defense or secretary of the treasury, tell me what you've been doing while you were out of public office. >> let me point out also you had north korea doing its nuclear test. we've got a drawdown on afghanistan, all of these very significant issues and chuck hagel is being asked about sneaking fees that he may have received three or four or five years ago. >> may or may not have received. and i want to show you the one guy more than any other that blocked this is the new senator, ted cruz. barely in office a month and listen to this exchange he had with john mccain. >> it is at a minimum relevant to know if that $200,000 that he deposited in his bank account came directly from saudi arabia, came directly from north korea. >> senator hagel is an honorable man. he has served his country, and no one on this committee at any time should impugn his character or his integrity. >> now, cruz went on to say, i don't have any evidence

"new york times". >> big difference. i'm not saying which one is better. jonathan bernstein writes in the washington post the confirmation process for chuck hagel is a good example of just how far off the rails executive-branch nomination and confirmation has gone. there's basically little in it for the senate when senators turn nominations into a series of gotcha moments and efforts to extrapolate the broad political philosophy of executive branch nominees." >> i have only been covering politics for i guess, 12 ye
